    All things work together for the good of those that love God. That’s one to keep in mind. I believe it, but do I trust it? Left on our own, we may not know what is our own good. When lived with faith, trials and sacrifices we would never choose can work together for our…

    As followers of Jesus Christ we seek to minister to others as He would because lives are waiting to change. How do we best minister to people? Start by asking what ministering looks like to them.

    In what way will I find financial and spiritual stability? I have been faithful to the gospel and have been torn down by years of dysfunction at home. While the family has been getting more stable in recent years, my marriage and the spiritual practices of the family have been deteriorating and my capacity to…

    I like the way we are reminded over and over that the restoration is ongoing, it isn’t a past event that we simply remember. It is a present event that we participate in. “Hosannah” means “save now” “Hallelujah” means “praise to the Lord Jehovah” The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday is the story…
